Las Vegas police wrote in an email to KSNV: “The death did not occur during the operation period of the 2017 Electric Daisy Carnival which were from 7:00 p.m. to the event’s conclusion each night at approximately 5:30 a.m. The statistics sent to the media were for the operation periods of the event and known incidents. The death is not investigated as a crime, and is being handled by the Clark County Coroner’s Office.”
